  • Dan Douthard shows his method of creating a hollow Christmas ornament with a hanging decoration in the middle. Dan begins by drilling holes in each face of a 1 ¾” cube. After turning it spherical and setting a finial, he hangs a decorative element in the cross drilled cavity and mounts an icicle. The result is an heirloom Christmas tree decoration.

    I’m relative new at wood turning. I tried this ornament and was very happy with the results. Easy to follow video. I plan to use this method to do more ornaments...thanks

    so many useful mini-Tips!
    i particularly liked the method used to see if one had cross drilled 1/2 way through _ seeing the ghost of the reflection from the forstner bit through the 1/4 in hole.

    sliding the tailstock up before locking it in to find center is a great suggestion!

    I've tried the ornament and found that I need to wait to add the 45 deg countersink. If added through Dan's process, I've cracked the block and had to use ca glue to save it. Adding the countersink after shaping (rounding corners, etc), I've had better success.

    Great video, sir! Lots of awesome tips. I have a bunch of maple just sitting around, I'll definitely be making a lot of these for Christmas presents out of it.

    A nice demonstration, the only problem for me, as a French speaker is: Dan speaks really too fast for m, but I really enjoyed looking your video. Congratulations for your interesting video. 👍

    It looks like you are having to bend over quite a bit, is that because the lathe where you are doing the demo is too low? Seems like that would be hard on the back, especially if you have knees like mine that don't bend like they used to.

      It took me awhile to realize what you were asking. A 2 x 4 is a common piece of construction lumber that you have in the walls of your home. The name comes from the rough sawn size of 2" thick by 4" wide. After surfacing, the final dimensions are 1 1/2" thick by 3 1/2" wide.

    Get to the point, all the waffle is irritating and makes me want to leave. I ran the video at 2x the speed and still you take too much time.
